Calibration Methods
There are six methods of calibration. Press > to select a calibration method. Press 
to begin the calibration method selected. Refer to the appropriate section for calibration
instructions.
• New Zero - Establishes a new zero (no load) and span (test load) calibration
reference.
• Last Zero - Performs a span re-calibration without removing the test load. (This
selection is not available with linearization enabled.)
• Temp Zero - Performs a calibration without removing the current gross weight.
The zero reference determined during the last calibration is maintained. (This
selection is not available with linearization enabled.)
• Only Zero - Establishes a new zero reference without affecting span.
• Cal Reset - Adjusts the zero and gain factors of the A/D amplifier to default
values for maximum sensitivity.
• Known LCOut - Calibrates without the use of test weights. The mV/V value and
full scale capacity of each load cell must be known.

GENERAL NOTES ON CALIBRATION


• Pressing K at any point in the calibration routine moves back one step.

• Pressing K at the New Zero? prompt exits calibration mode.

• A calibration weight can be applied before or after entering the calibration weight
value. The display prompts you to Keyin CalWt (key in calibration weight) or
Add CalWT (add calibration weight) at the appropriate time.
• The digital filter is automatically set to 4 seconds during calibration.
• A motion delay is enforced during zero and span calibration.
• New calibration values are not permanently saved until the calibration mode is
exited and changes are saved by pressing  at the ENTER=SAVE prompt. If
power is lost during calibration, the previously saved calibration values will be in
effect when power is restored.
• If replacing one indicator with another, it is possible to set the total gain value
(P61108) of the new indicator with that of the original. This will optimize the
coarse and fine gain values, greatly increasing the likelihood of a successful
calibration on the first attempt.

New Zero
The most common calibration procedure, New Zero establishes a new zero (no load) and
span (test load) calibration reference. Use this method for first-time calibration and
complete re-calibration.

TO PERFORM A NEW ZERO CALIBRATION:


1. Remove all weight from the scale.
2. Enter calibration as described on page 23.
3. Select the New Zero calibration method as described in Calibration Methods on
page 23.
4. Press  at the New Zero? prompt to establish the new zero reference.
5. After establishing the zero reference, the default calibration units are displayed
momentarily followed by the Keyin CalWt prompt.
6. Apply the calibration weight, key in the calibration weight value in terms of the
default calibration units and press  to establish span.
If the calibration weight value was entered before the weight was applied, the
display will prompt Add CalWT. Add the calibration weight and press .
7. After establishing span, CAL OK? is displayed suggesting that the calibration is
acceptable, or ReCal??? is displayed suggesting that the calibration procedure
should be repeated.
8. Accept the calibration by pressing  at the CAL OK? prompt or K at the
ReCal??? prompt.
~ or ~
Repeat the calibration by pressing K at the CAL OK? prompt or  at the
ReCal??? prompt.

9. Once the calibration is accepted in step 6, press  at the ENTER=SAVE
prompt and again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to save the new calibration and
exit the calibration mode.
~ or ~
To exit the calibration mode without saving the new calibration, press K at
theENTER=SAVE prompt. Then press  at the ENTER=UNDO prompt and
again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to exit the calibration mode.

Last Zero
Last Zero allows span re-calibration without removing the applied test weight. The last
zero established by pressing  from the weigh mode will be used as the zero reference.
This procedure is especially useful when performing routine tolerance checks on large
capacity scales. A scale found to be out-of-tolerance can be easily calibrated without
having to remove the test weights to reestablish a zero reference.

TO PERFORM A LAST ZERO CALIBRATION:


1. Remove all weight from the scale.
2. Press < to zero the scale in the weigh mode.
3. Apply the calibration test weight.
4. Access the calibration mode as described on page 23.
5. Select the Last Zero calibration method as described in Calibration Methods on
page 23 .
6. Press  at the Last Zero? prompt to display the Keyin CalWT prompt.
7. Key in the calibration weight value in terms of the default calibration units and
press  to establish span.
8. After establishing span, CAL OK? is displayed suggesting that the calibration is
acceptable, or ReCal??? is displayed suggesting that the calibration procedure
should be repeated.
Accept the calibration by pressing  at the CAL OK? prompt or K at the
ReCal??? prompt.
~ or ~
Repeat the calibration by pressing K at the CAL OK? prompt or  at the
ReCal??? prompt.
9. Once the calibration is accepted in step 6, press  at the ENTER=SAVE
prompt and again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to save the new calibration and
exit the calibration mode.

If you choose to “undo” the calibration when exiting the setup mode, you
 will also undo any unsaved changes made to the setup parameters.

Temporary Zero
Temp Zero is used to calibrate without establishing a new zero. Calibration can
be performed without removing the currently applied gross load. A temporary
zero is established so that test weights can be added during calibration. The
original zero reference determined during the previous calibration is not affected.
This procedure is commonly used to calibrate hopper scales where it is
impractical to empty the product before calibrating.

TO PERFORM A TEMP ZERO CALIBRATION:


1. Access the calibration mode as described on page 23.
2. Select the Temp Zero calibration method as described in Calibration Methods on
page 23.
3. Press  at the Temp Zero? prompt to establish a temporary zero reference.
4. After establishing the temporary zero reference, the default calibration units are
displayed momentarily followed by the Keyin CalWT prompt.
5. Apply the calibration weight, key in the calibration weight value in terms of the
default calibration units and press  to establish span.
If the calibration weight value was entered before the weight was applied, the
display will prompt Add CalWT. Add the calibration weight and press .

Only Zero
Only Zero is used for zero calibration only. This calibration procedure is primarily used
for the zero reference after changing a scale’s dead-load, such as adding safety rails to a
scale deck or installing a mixer motor on a hopper scale. Because the full scale capacity
is referenced from the last zero calibration, performing a zero calibration helps to ensure
that the full scale over-load will not occur prematurely due to the additional dead-load.

TO PERFORM AN ONLY ZERO CALIBRATION:


1. Remove all weight from the scale.
2. Access the calibration mode as described on page 23.
3. Select the Only Zero calibration method as described in Calibration Methods on
page 23.
4. Press  at the Only Zero? prompt to establish the new zero reference.
5. After establishing zero, CAL OK? is displayed suggesting that the calibration is
acceptable.
Accept the calibration by pressing  at the CAL OK? prompt.
~ or ~
Repeat the calibration by pressing K at the CAL OK? prompt.
6. Once the calibration is accepted in step 5, press  at the ENTER=SAVE
prompt and again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to save the new calibration and

~ or ~
To exit the calibration mode without saving the new calibration, press K at the
ENTER=SAVE prompt. Then press at the ENTER=UNDO prompt and
again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to exit the calibration mode.

If you choose to “undo” the calibration when exiting the setup mode, you will also
 undo any unsaved changes made to the setup parameters.

Calibration Reset
Cal Reset sets the gain factors of the A/D amplifier to minimum values and clears the
A/D’s zero offset. These gain values are stored in the Information Parameters at P61104
Æ P61107 (see the Calibration Parameters section). A Cal Reset should be performed
if calibration is not possible due to an over-load condition, or if the displayed weight
value does not change when the test weight is applied.

TO PERFORM A CALIBRATION RESET:


1. Access the calibration mode as described on page 23.
2. Select the Cal Reset calibration method as described in Calibration Methods on
page23.

4. The display prompts New Zero?. Proceed with calibration.

 If an over-load condition exists at the time of calibration, the calibration method prompts are replaced by an

Over load! message. Press K to proceed directly to the Cal Reset procedure.

Known Loadcell Output


Known LCOut is used to calibrate without test weights. The exact full scale mV/V
rating must be known for each load cell. All load cells must be of the same full scale
capacity. This procedure works best for hopper scales where weight is evenly distributed
and signal trimming is not required.

TO PERFORM A KNOWN LOADCELL OUTPUT CALIBRATION:

CHAPTER 5: LEGAL FOR TRADE
The Model 675 default parameter setup does not ensure compliance with legal-for-trade
installations as mandated by local weights and measures authorities. This chapter
contains information on NTEP and OIML regulations, sealing and audit trails, and other
requirements.
Since legal-for-trade requirements may vary, you must ensure that the Model 675
installed in accordance with all local regulations.

NTEP Requirements
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted weights and
measures standard in the United States, with most states abiding by some or all of the
NTEP requirements. A complete list of these regulations is available in the “Handbook
44” publication distributed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST). For more information, call (301) 975-3058, or visit http://www.nist.gov.

The Model 675 NTEP Certificate of Conformance (C.O.C.) is pending.



In order to configure the Model 675 to comply with NTEP requirements, parameter P440
(NTEP) must be enabled. This ensures the following:
• Serial data will not be received while in the Setup Mode.
• Weight values that exceed the minimum width specified at P240 will be
transmitted as dashes “-------“.
• Pressing : with a gross weight of zero (0) pressing 0 : will not
automatically switch to the net mode.
• Printing using the = key is only possible from the gross, net or quantity
mode.
• Numeric tare entries cannot be received through the serial port.
• Pressing : with a gross weight of zero (0) will not automatically switch
to the net mode.
• Negative tare values are not accepted regardless of the selection for the
“Negative Tare Enable” parameter (P162).
• Tare values are automatically rounded regardless of the selection for the
“Tare Rounding Enable” parameter (P163).
• Accumulations using the I  method can only be performed from the
gross, net or quantity mode.

Where applicable, enabling the restrict parameter will over-ride the current setting of
other parameters.

30

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


If the counting feature is enabled, NTEP requires a label on the front of the
 indicator stating “The counting feature is not legal for trade”. See Other
Requirements on page 35 for other application specific considerations.

NTEP CUSTOM SETUP


The “Custom Setup” parameter, P60205 of the information parameters, displays a list of
parameters which, if configured improperly, could facilitate fraud in a legal-for-trade
installation. A weights & measures inspector might check this parameter and inquire
about the configuration of any parameters that appear in this list.

Accessing the Custom Setup List


DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE CUSTOM SETUP LIST DURING
CRITICAL WEIGHT PROCESSING! It is important to note that all functions of the
operating mode will be suspended immediately upon accessing the information
parameters. This includes suspension of weight conversions, deactivation of all setpoints
and cancellation of custom transmits. The “Custom Setup” list may be accessed from the
weigh mode as shown in the example – Accessing the NTEP Custom Setup List. An
access code is not required to view this list.

To access the custom setup list:

1. From the weigh mode, key in EJBJD >.


2. The Custom Setup list begins scrolling through each parameter to check. If
there are no parameters to check, Std. Setup is displayed.
3. The Custom Setup list may be repeated by pressing  at P60205.
4. Press < to return to the weigh mode.

Custom Setup Parameters


A setup parameter that appears in the “Custom Setup” does not imply that it is
improperly configured. Consider the application and refer to the following descriptions
to determine if the parameter is configured appropriately.

P205 – Receive Mode


If the receive mode is enabled for any of the four communication ports, any device
connected to that port should not be used to transmit data to the indicator which could
facilitate fraud.
P205 will appear in the “Custom Setup” list for each receive port enabled. For example,
if the receive mode is enabled for all four ports, the list will display P205—, P205˜,
P205™, and P205š.

31

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


P240 – Minimum Transmit Width
A weight value that cannot be displayed due to the 6-digit limitation of the standard VF
display may not be printed. To ensure this is not possible, P240 must be set to a width of
not greater than 7 (6 digits and a decimal point). NTEP must also be enabled at P440.
Any weight value that exceeds the minimum width specified will be printed as dashes "--
-----".

P440 – NTEP Enable


P440 appears in the “Custom Setup” list if disabled.

P9990 – Macro Instance Selection


P9990 appears in the “Custom Setup” list if at least one macro is configured. Macro
operation should be checked to verify its conformance to all regulations.

Additional Conformance Considerations


Several parameters must be considered on an individual basis as their configuration may
vary with different applications. These parameters include, but are not limited to those
listed in Table 3.
Table 3: Additional Conformance Parameters

P151 Æ P154 Custom Units Verify name and conversion factor.
P600 Æ P646 Rename Parameters Verify acceptable names.

† Custom units must be site approved. Lb/oz is not approved for legal-for-trade
installations.

Sealing And Audit Trails


Most legal-for-trade installations will require the Model 675 to be sealed. A sealed
indicator cannot be accessed for setup or calibration changes without breaking a physical
seal or incrementing an event counter, thus providing evidence of tampering.

The Model 675 has two types of sealing provisions, a physical seal and a three event
audit trail counter. Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine
your requirements.

32

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


PHYSICAL SEAL
The most common sealing method is a lead-wire seal. The Model 675 provides an easy
means of applying this type of seal as shown in Figure 4.
Before applying a wire seal, move the program jumper to the ‘NO’ position as shown in
Figure 3. This will prevent access to the Setup and Calibration Modes.

Figure 3: Program Jumper

Figure 4: Physical Seal

AUDIT TRAILS
Three separate incrementing, non-resetable audit trail parameters are used by the Model
675 to indicate changes to various parameters, P60201 – OIML, P60203 – Calibration ,
and P60204 – Setup. An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the
Setup Mode and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed.

OIML Audit Trail
Changes to any of the following parameters will increment the OIML (Euro) audit trail at
P60201:
• P109 – P119 (Scale Setup)
• P122 (Return to Zero)
• P131 – P134 (Units)
• P150 – P154 (Calibration and Custom Units)
• P162, P163 (Negative Tare Enable, Tare Rounding Enable)
• P300 – P309 (Selectable Modes)
• P410, P412 (OIML Enable, Preset Enable)
• P420 (Standard VF Display Mode)
• P600 – P646 (Rename Parameters)
• P800 – P820 (Key Functions)
• P989 – P4999 (Custom Transmit)
• P61101 – 61140 (Calibration and Linearization)
• P65001, P65002 (Default All, Default –Cal)

Calibration Audit Trail


Any changes to the existing calibration will increment the Calibration (CAL) audit trail at
P60203. This includes any changes to P60101 – P61140 of the information parameters.

Setup Audit Trail


Changes to any of the Setup Mode parameters will increment the setup audit trail at
P60204.

34

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


regulation publications can be obtained from the Bureau International de Métrologie
Légale (BIML) in Paris, France.
In order to configure the indicator to comply with OIML requirements, P410 must be
enabled in the setup mode. Doing this will ensure the following:
• An over-load condition will result when the gross weight exceeds nine (9)
graduations over the full scale capacity.
• Full scale capacity is always referenced from the last zero calibration
reference, not the last zero acquired by pressing <.

• Presettable parameters will give indication that a value has been entered
manually
Most NTEP requirements will also apply. See the NTEP section of this chapter for
additional considerations.

Enabling OIML Operation

Communication Errors
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
The parity of a received character did not match the parity specified
in the setup mode at P202. This could also result if the baud rate
prtyX
(P200) or the number of data bits (P201) are incorrect. The ‘X’ in the
error
error message represents the COMM port number on which the
problem occurred.
An overrun error occurred where additional characters were received
ovrnX while the receive buffer was full. The additional characters will be
error lost. The ‘X’ in the error message represents the COMM port number
on which the problem occurred.
The stop bit of a received character did not occur when it was
expected. This could be the result of an incorrect baud rate (P200),
frmgX
incorrect number of data bits (P201), or incorrect parity setting
error
(P202). The ‘X’ in the error message represents the COMM port
number on which the problem occurred.

MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
The indicator did not check its receive data register in time, thus
portX missing a character. To prevent the problem, try reducing the baud
error rate (P200). The ‘X’ in the error message represents the COMM port
number on which the problem occurred.
Associated with Modbus. This is selected at P205. This message
indicates that a transmission out the specified port was attempted.
NoTxX
This is not acceptable if the port is set for Modbus. The ‘X’ in the
Allow
error message represents the COMM port number on which the
problem occurred.
Occurs if a data transmission is held up for two seconds of more due
tx on
to a deasserted handshake. Refer to the description of parameter
hold
P209 for more information.
Occurs if the K key is pressed when the tx on hold error message
tx
abort is shown or if P209 is set for abort and the transmit buffer becomes
full.
tx Appear briefly when the handshake is re-asserted after the tx on hold
Con'd message occurs.
BadTx Appears briefly after an attempt was made to put a byte in an invalid
Port comm port receive buffer.
Wrong An invalid communication port number was specified.
